Who its for - Payroll Software Providers

The Single Touch API is free to software providers and integrates easily to your platform. You will be able to ensure all your clients are compliant with new ATO STP reporting requirements with minimal effort.

By using the Single Touch API you avoid all the development and ongoing maintenance issues around Standard Business Reporting required for STP reporting (i.e. XML, ebMS3/AS4). Single Touch takes care of everything for you.

Single Touch has made a significant investment in time and resources to make it easy for software providers to get their platforms STP-ready. We will maintain and enhance Single Touch to ensure it’s always up-to-date with ATO requirements.

You can confidently advise your clients that your platform is compatible with ATO STP reporting, a significant value-added service we offer you at no cost. Once it’s set up, employers pay Single Touch directly for the reporting service, based on their business activity. STP reporting is mandatory, so it’s important that your clients have the ability to comply. Single Touch makes it easy and cost-effective.

There are two ways to integrate
Single Touch for your customers:

API incorporated into payroll software:

The best way to use Single Touch is to incorporate the API into your software. The API enables payroll software to easily and correctly lodge single-touch reports.

Tailored .CSV where API integration not possible:

The .CSV option is available for software unable to implement the API. This option allows your client to upload csv files to the Single Touch portal.
